# MK Noodle: Agent-Direct Score D (41.5%)

Site: https://mknoodle.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/mknoodle.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
MK Noodle is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of MK Noodle, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://mknoodle.square.site/ (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-773-645-1998

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Menu or price list lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to square.site, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
- Fixed: The site could not be read at all
- New: The site turned every visitor without a browser away; Menu lived on another site
